I would like to report one important inconvenience with maintaining our live strategies.
Today all currency futures are rolled and I spent more than 4 hours setting up
the same and already existing strategies, just because of changing the instrument
is hidden/block in disabled strategy.
This should be really fixed.
Problem occurs on each rollovers
- 4x year on currency futures
- 12x a year on gold,
- 12x a year on crude oil.
We simply cannot configure the same strategies again and again
and repeat this task for all strategies and all instruments.
Each strategy has many (50+) settings and it is very precise and error prone task,
that should be done once and not repeated if possible.
The whole development team including our executives are angry about this behavior.
They asked me to ask for change - because we suffered some losses because of misconfigurations caused by these frequent changes. I know, this is completely our problem, but I would like to ask you change this huge inconvenience.
It is very inconvenient to spent so much hours for configurations for all our existing and deployed strategies, just because there is no way to update the instrument in the existing strategy. It is also very risky practice, because when you have 50+ strategies with 50+ settings for each strateggy - there is really big chance of typo/misconfigurations.
This should be really fixed, otherwise there is no good future in maintaining
real world lists of deployed strategies.
Please, enable change of the instrument in disabled strategy,
like it can be configured when setting up new strategy.
Best regards
Misova
